Wonderful memories of our neighbors across High Street, Ipswich, MA. The secret garden for your grandchildren, the daredevil bicycle riding of Marshal, the flowers for our daughter Julie´s wedding and the kindness you shared with others.

Andrea and I remember the cold winter night, before the seasons first snow, when we walked the path at the head of Mineral St up and through the cemetery. We heard the sound of ice skates as we approached Bakers Pond. Who did we see? Duke and Connie gliding together across the cold black ice. Andy and I watched them whirl effortlessly under the moon and stars. Beautiful sight and sound of love we were blessed to witness together.
